Walker's Point Strategic Action Plan
On June 23rd, 2015, the City of Milwaukee Common Council approved the Walker's Point Strategic Action Plan as an amendment to the Near South Side Area Plan. The plan seeks to create a district that is diverse, affordable, and sustainable. Catalytic projects include a Creative Corridor on S. 5th, S. 6th and National Avenue, build-out of the Reed Street Yards, a proposed local historic district on S. 2nd Street, a series of improvements to make Walker's Point more walkable and bikeable, an Innovation Initiative, new approaches to riverfront development, wayfinding for trails, and a Creative Placemaking Initiative to enliven commercial corridors and reinvent the public realm.
